The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
1) Siddhalakṣmī (सिद्धलक्ष्मी) or Siddhilakṣmī is the Goddess associated with Uttarāmnāya, according to Mukundarāja’s Saṃvartārthaprakāśa.—[...] Only the northern, western and upper āmnāyas are extensively functional amongst the Newars, in theory, like other Kaulas, they follow a system of six āmnāyas. This is largely based on the Parātantra. Thus, those listed in the Saṃvartārthaprakāśa by Mukundarāja, who was a Newar, agree with that source. The goddesses in the six āmnāyas are: [...] Mukundarāja adds two more goddesses related to the āmnāyas who are very important for the Newars. One is Siddhilakṣmī (sic. Siddhalakṣmī). She belongs to the Uttarāmnāya. The other is Ugracaṇḍā (= Maheśāsuramardinī / Durgā) who belongs to the Dakṣiṇāmnāya.
2) Siddhalakṣmī (सिद्धयोगेश्वरी) refers to the central deity of the Kālasaṃkarṣaṇīmata.—[Certain texts that] are specifically termed Mata Tantras are all centred on the worship of goddesses. For example, Abhinava refers to the Siddhayogeśvarīmata as the “great scripture of the Mata”. The deity of this Mata Tantra is Siddhayogeśvarī whose three aspects or forms are the goddesses Parā, Parāparā and Aparā. Siddhalakṣmī, a form of Kālī, is the main (samayā) goddess of the Kālasaṃkarṣaṇīmata. Similarly, although the Picumata is concerned with the worship of Bhairava, it focuses on his consort Caṇḍākāpālinī and the Yoginīs associated with her
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
